Nice work. I want more Zentraedi's in my life!!!
-
Really nice work as usual CrossAir. Really love your paint finishes.

Nyankodevice, Nice to see your finishing up that Sivil figure. I don't know if you have sculpted your own figures before, but it looks great. Lt. Z0mBe, you've done lots of great scratch detailing and puttying as usual. Nice cockpit too, where id that figure come form? Electric Indigo, with all the puttying you've done on the F-14 nose cone, I assume the Hasegawa 1/48s are no more easy to build than the 1/72s. Derex, great work on the B-Wing. It looks fittingly alien. Nice weathering and rust here and there. Why does it have the Japanese rising sun, I wonder? As for the new Hase kits your looking at, treat them as you would a resin kit and you will be fine: lots of parts fitting, sanding, molding and puttying. You have all the skills needed and more, we have seen it. Just don't expect a Bandai snap fit kit. If you know what you are getting into, they are fun, and they come out great. I would follow WMCheng's build guides.

Do we know how tall Minmay will be?

Derex. I think your dirt thumbs are to blame here.
-
Thats weird Derex. The enamel wash shouldnt react with the acrylic that way. It sounds like your base coat hasnt adhered to the model. Or you used an enamel base by accident. Is it the pressure from your q-tip, or the enamel wash itself thats making the base coat come right off? Personally I cant get any wash to work cause I can never get my varnish to be glossy and smooth enough. It usually just seeps into the acrylic. But that's a different story...
-
Of course! That's why we're here. I've been studying the old 1/72 Hasegawas with working wing gears, but I hear they're awful.
-
Cool. I think I have that covered. The leds are separate, 10x fiber to each of 3 leds, plus a 4th led for the engine itself. So I plan to have them blink separately, kinda like you said in a cycle.
-
I'm crazier than that Its 4 leds and 30 strands of 0.25 fiber. But I havent coded it how I want yet, thats just standard neopixel library. What ideas do you have in mind? I prefer the blue and white flicker.

Something new I'm working on for you guys.
-
Now that's funny!
-
I should have thought of that for my Hurricanes and Spitfires when I was 15. Unfortunately they ended up as target practice!

Saw it with my son today. We both enjoyed it. Pretty good script, And the action was good, with a gradual increase in intensity as the plot progressed. There is some depth to the back stories and some good emotional buildup. Overall, much better than I expected for a Hollywood anime adaptation, but could be better still.

1/72 VF-1 Jasmine photo etch on the screen.
-
This is a new lighting scheme I've been working on a 1/72 vf-1. The control panels are clear parts blocked off with little square pieces of masking tape, then primed thick in black and gray, painted with clear paints, and lit with one smd led. The cockpit screen has three smd leds separated with bits of styrene. All clear parts are sanded down to diffuse the light.
-
Thanks derex. Been working on it. Here you go.
-
electric indigo, I'd like to see more pics of that 25. Mechtech doesn't need to buy any models, he just builds his own!!!
-
Very nice to see this scheme on the old chubby.
-
Lookin good. Lots of great classic schemes on this big beast.
-
I needed to open this build to correct a resistor, so I went for a full retrofit while I was at it. I replaced the engine LED with an RGB neopixel, and added a new base with sound effects. Also got a nostalgic little friend from Shapeways to hang out with.

What's up with these down votes? Not cool man... This is a creative section. We don't behave that way.

Display Base Project for Hi-metal & Hi-metal R (3D-Print)
arbit replied to kyekye's topic in The Workshop!
Hi Kye, It looks magnificent! Congrats on a great job. This might work great for lighter 1/100 scale model valks. BTW, did you put magnets inside the valk? -
To each their own, but I'm worried these KOs will hurt small companies like Arcadia to produce more valks in the future. I don't think the Macross market is large enough to support KOs like Transformers, is it?
